COMMERCIAL LAW


Commercial law is the legal practice area of South African law that applies to the rights, relations and conduct of individuals and or entities in businesses engaged in commerce, merchandising, trade and sales.

Commercial Legal Opinion

Commercial legal opinions are often sought by investors, partners and management teams of organisations wanting to obtain unbiased and expert advice on professional matters in order to build, advance, and defend their business interests. The purpose of a commercial opinion sought must be clear from the onset. Legal opinions are mostly sought by organisations to be aware of the legal impact on a particular transaction or matter, to identify possible legal risks, to back up a legal argument and to prove that lawful action was taken in a situation.

 

Registration Of Legal Entities

Our registration specialists advise clients on all issues and or best practices for the registration of the agreed legal entity, as well as advising on key aspects involved in the area of commercial and corporate law in South Africa. We also advise on choosing the organizational and legal form of the company being formed and the preparation of all necessary documents for the company registration.
